As previously reported, UFC on FUEL TV 4 takes place July 11 at HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. Broadcast plans for the event haven’t been announced, but main card action airs on FUEL TV.
Fighters Only first reported the bout, which was originally scheduled for UFC 138 before a car accident forced Taylor to withdraw.

Njokuani gets a quick turnaround after an impressive showing at this past weekend’s UFC 145. The Las Vegas resident outstruck fellow standup specialist John Makdessi en route to a unanimous decision, which put him back on the right track after a split decision loss to Danny Castillo at UFC 141.

Since migrating from the now-defunct WEC, Njokuani has hopscotched between losses and wins.

Taylor has done much the same, though he’s lost more than he’s won. Most recently, he blew a returning Gabe Ruediger out of the water with a head kick and punches at UFC 126. That got him back in the winner’s circle after a razor-close decision loss to Sam Stout at UFC 121 and a unanimous decision dropped to John Hathaway.

The Walsall, England, resident has nonetheless won three performance bonuses for his entertaining, striking-based style.
